I need to make a statement here and no it is not to cause trouble but to just state my opinion.
What is a blog biddy? A title given to those who do follow of agree with certain parties. I do not consider myself a blog biddy and do not send a flurry of emails to anyone. I im with 2 people on a regular basis. And have emailed about 4 in the past month on personal matters. I am sorry but that is about all the time I have to give here. All other emails I sent were on questions about items.
Now why won't I bid on a charity auction because it would be disrespectful to the artist the means of use would not be as intended. People claim to be charitable here and for the most part they are. But there are a couple who think being charitable is about financial means only. I feel being charitable is about words as well. When you insult one's children (who have nothing to do with anything that is OK, but allow another to make a comment and well let's just say it was not charitable). When one post outright lies is that charitable! One can accuse innocent parties of "back alley dealing" which was further from the truth, really do you think I would get another blogger to bid. Is this charitable! Accusing others of shill, hiding information, hinting at dishonesty, insulting ones typing (oh by the way look at your own before saying anything about others) and the best one is the 0 ids that come to aid. You folks all flock to those degrading posts to which one of your favorite bloggers can not be big enough to say what they feel under their regular IDs so they act cowardly and childish and yes very uncharitable to others but when they show up with real IDs you folks flock to them. Now is this charitable or honest!!! All I get to say is to look in the mirror all and see if charity starts in your heart, true we all waiver and get caught up in the minute but can you step back before it goes to far and others are hurt beyond returning ( who gave you the right who decides who is "allowed" here and who is not) as some have boasted. It really is very simple if you do not like go on, or if you know it was posted to hurt someone why respond. There is always going to be someone on the wrong side of someone. But did it involve you, should you be posting there??? How would I feel if I was named in the blog???? Just think about these questions next time you post an response. Charity would maybe be a kind word truly spoken from the heart and one clearly thought out in your mind.
Oh and yes I am looking forward to my next charity auction and can not wait to see what it brings!!!! We shall see, we shall see.
Just my thoughts and take on things. Now if you choose to post a response feel free . aswe
